GROUND ANCHORED FOOTINGS IN MINUTES ARE A REALITY
The Deck Foot Load Plate can be purchased separately if you have used the auger to test your soil conditions and you are now ready to build your project with the Deck Foot Anchor.
The Deck Foot Anchor gives you strength and security similar to a poured concrete footing without the labor, time and cost. Quickly and easily install ground anchored footings for freestanding decks, pergolas, sheds, ramps and more*

It's dependable Direct Drive system ensures you can drive the anchor forward or reverse for quick installation. Installs with a handheld ½" impact wrench.
*For floating or free-standing structures where freezing soil conditions exist.
Using a lightweight handheld ½" electric impact wrench and a 12mm six point socket, drive the auger deep into the soil.
Tighten the nut and compress the load plate against stop washer below the load plate.
Place the post saddle in the desired location. Tighten the upper nut to attach the saddle to the auger and load plate.
Terra-Shift refers to our unique friction release system in the bracket that protects critical post to beam connections on your deck in the event of any seasonal soil movement.
If any uneven uplift forces are imposed on your footings, posts will slide up or down independently as needed to protect and preserve the post and beam joints from separating.

Pull out resistance (tension) from undisturbed soil varies by soil type and auger length. If you are building a project where known uplift data is required please see our Tension Test data for sandy or clay soils based on auger length. This is data taken from field testing by Intertek in a location in Colorado and is part of an extensive residential code compliance review program this is expected to be completed in the spring of 2022.
You can build your deck with joists as low as 2"-3" above grade if you wish. Simply hang the joists from the perimeter joist. If you want to extend the deck beyond the footing, extend the side perimeter joists 6"-10" and fill with blocking joists along the length.
With proper bracing in both directions from 6x6 posts to beams, you can make a six-foot high freestanding deck as solid as a rock. It's possible to go even higher but it is not intended to support decks at a second-floor elevation.
Decks supported by concrete blocks that rest on the surface are susceptible to uplift in high winds and have to be secured to the ground with a webbing of cables and ground spikes.
The Titan Deck Foot Anchor™ holds your footings securely to the ground. Almost 2/3 of the United States and parts of Canada are in high wind zones.
For maximum uplift resistance, consider using the 36" auger.
The Rule of Thumb is 6'-0" apart for each footing. This corresponds to a design load of 50 psf and tributary areas over each footing of 36 sqft.
So the total load imposed on the soil below each footing would be a maximum of 1800 psf as the footing is just slightly larger than 1 sqft.
If you have a large deck where three or more beams are going to be used, consider adding one additional footing along the interior beam. This is because the tributary loads of any structure are always greatest in the middle.
Low Set Beams
You can also hang joists from beam face to beam face if you really wanted to hide all the beams of a low-level deck. That is next to impossible to do with blocks.
First, if we used concrete blocks we would have had trouble figuring out how to get the deck joist framing as low to the ground because they sit higher.
Second, the deck would just loosely sit on them. Here, each footing and post to beam connection is secured to the ground.
Third, we didn't want to see cement blocks when you walked by the highest level deck.
